I don't know how to feel about this. Feels a little dirty.

hahaha, we would be extremely smart if this were to happen, but I see Kirk Cousins either going this route or the Colt Brennan route, minus the car crash and ended career, I mean the sit on the bench and when anything goes bad everyone will be crying to start the QB how has no real NFL experience other than practice and preseason

Unless a team is willing to throw the kitchen sink at us for Cousins, I say we keep him.

A good team needs at least SOME depth at every position, and the way the Skins have been running RG3, I think we have a better chance than most other teams at seeing the backup in the game at some point. I think Cousins can come in and run the offense the way it's supposed to be run without missing much of a step.

We need a capable backup for the guy who IS our offense, and we have him.

I think we're going to get a lot of value out of Cousins. Four years from now we are going to be very happy they used that pick for value rather than selecting a no-name CB or safety who might not even make the team in a year or two.

You mean via trade, right? Would you get a FA vet as a backup to RGIII?

Eventually in a trade, yes, and until then as a solid backup who gives us a good chance of winning whenever we need him. I think we'll eventually trade him simply because he'll prove himsefl a capable starter, and players like that don't just stay on the bench.
